Who Da Man

It's a solid stick but a little pricy. Another nice of the rack rod you should look at is the Raven RV9.

A sea gull on a floating rapala when our motor stalled while trolling.

Nice hogs!

Just curious if the fish have started staging and are colouring up. Might make a few trips to the pier when the nights get a little cooler. Thanks,

Someone should as Dave if his GPS comes loaded with all his secret spots!

Nice report & pictures!

Do you even get a drift from the river anymore down by the pier?

What are they going to do to make it deeper? Dredge it out?

I never had much sucess in the rain, unless it's a light sprinkle. I do find that if it rains on/off the periods when it stops the fishing is usually pretty good.

Your photos might force me to make another trip up there. Manitoulin has some of the nicest rivers I have ever seen. Went up two years ago and did ok with the fishing. I could'nt believe how many deer there were.

Bronte sure has shallowed out over the years. But I guess that could be said for alot of tribs.

They should start moving in soon. It always seems they move in the East tribs sooner then the credit/bronte. A few consecutive cold nights and some rain and they will be in soon.

Wow those are pigs!

Good job with the back ground. Otherwise Dave would kill you, and I would kill Dave, and my friends would kill me. I also heard you went to the river with a 3 pcs raven and left with a 6 pcs! Nice fish though.

I tried to remove my kingpin's spool today to wipe behind the backplate but after I loosened the allen key screw and removed the backplate bolt I could'nt pull the spool off. I didn't try to pull too hard to avoid damaging it, but I was curious if anyone else has had this issue or if I am doing something wrong. The reel is the newer 4 7/8" model that came with the allen key screw so the bolt can't loosen itself from the backplat thread. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
